After seven years of airing primetime races on ABC, that part of the NASCAR package made its move to Fox. ABC didn't have a race this week last year, but this one (1.2) was down a tenth from the last ABC telecast in October.

On the eve of an explosive rating for the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary special, the franchise posted a very solid number by Saturday standards with a Valentine's Day-themed special (1.3).
